Okay, here's another "is this a bug or a feature?" question. If I deck out a ship with lots of ion cannons are a poor generator, power quickly runs out when I hold down the fire button. However, the power level is barely dented if I just tap the fire button, which also lets me fire more quickly. Note that there are no blasters or beams, just ion cannons. It makes sense for blasters and particle beams to drain heavily while charging, but I can't see why ions should cost more energy when they're actually doing less work. So, is this a bug?
